Putting him at DH would be massively stupid for a 22 year old rookie. He's bad on defense, nobody is going to debate that. He has multiple years to get better and I fully expect he will get better over time.
If Collins can hit 250 with a 350 OBP I'd like him around the 6 spot. Drop Madrigal to 9.
I have been and am excited about Collins though. I really think he's going to figure it out.
I just don't understand him in the lineup. Let's say he goes on a hot streak and ends the year at 0.075.
What does that do for next year? He's trash. I'd rather see anybody else there. Didn't Mendick get some OF in AAA?
I don't really want to trade any of our prospects unless we can grab a Conforto or Benintendi. And yea we don't have the disposable ones to pull that off.
